What is the order you receive colors for karate belts?

Question

white, yellow...what others and in what order?

Answer 1

It all depends on the style/school and association etc. Here are a few examples, Tang Soo Do Assoc., white, orange, green, red and black (midnight blue) American Tang Soo Do, white, yellow,orange, green, brown and black.

If you just want colors in order: white, yellow, orange, purple, blue, green, brown and black. Some switch the purple and blue around while others may use red instead of brown.

Answer 2

In Shito-Ryu Karate, the order is white, orange, blue, purple, green, brown and black. Different styles hand out belts in different orders. The only constant is that white is lowest and black is highest. Some styles also have yellow and red belts which my style doesnt use.

Answer 3

Depends on the style...in mine: white, yellow, green, blue, brown, red, black, 1st degree, 2nd, 3rd, 4th (master).

Any of those McDojos that make you test for a white belt or different stripes are just out to make money IMO.

Answer 4

It differs from what area of the world your system comes from,but most Karate ranking is as follows;white,yellow.blue,green.purple.brown.then Black and then it goes into degrees of black I am a San Dan which is 3rd degree black,master comes at 6th degree-Taekwondo,has different ranks,as well as Kung Fu,most other systems also have different ranks.
